Mean Chef's Grilled Salmon With Red Currant Glaze

"Adopted from Mean Chef, who described it as "Very yummy, quick and easy grilled salmon"; this reminds me a bit of a lamb dish I love, Lamb Shrewsbury. I think that the sweet-tart sauce is a good foil for the rich, strong flavor of salmon. The sauce is fairly sweet, so some may wish to add more balsamic vinegar and/or lemon juice to increase the tartness."

  1. Very good salmon. The kids enjoyed it too, so it was a winner all around. Thanks for keeping Mean's recipe alive here!
     
  2. This a fantastic and very easy recipe to prepare. I did not have red current jelly so substituted plum jam. It turned out great. I prepared it in the oven at 450 F for 12 minutes and it was perfect. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  3. The sauce on this was very nice- lightly sweet and fruity. My husband thought it was perfect, but for my own preference, I probably would up the balsamic slightly just to give it a more acidic edge. The presentation was beautiful- I was just sorry that right before I went to take the photo, my camera batteries died. Long story! lol I'll get the photo next time, as the fish does look lovely. Thanks for posting!
